www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jaguar-E-Type-Series-1-4-2-coupe-rare-quad-headlamp-1-of-just ...
Classified ad price: £69,995 seller carsdavid190, car now said to be in Farnham, United Kingdom, 25k miles.
Seller's description:
This super rare and historically important Series 1 4.2 Coupe E Type is 1 of just two quad light e-types believed to have been built and possibly the last surviving example, if you want to be different from the crowd this is for you,
The car was specially order by Hugh John Vaughan Campbell, the 6th Earl of Cawdor, and reputedly left Jaguar's Browns Lane factory in November 1965 complete with a balanced and tuned engine, Koni dampers, competition wire wheels, Restall seats and a Webasto sunroof, (on driving the car I can confirm this is a very existing E Type to drive with terrific toque, performance and handling) Its first stop was to Abbey Panels, who were responsible for adding the 'shark gill' louvres on the rear of the front wings and distinctive quad headlamp arrangement, when completed, this very especially rare Jaguar was supplied to Rossleigh of Aberdeen for delivery to his Lordship via local Jaguar agent, P S Nicholson of Forres, history dictates the car was on the road for only 18 months before being damaged and stored on the Earls property until 2005, so the recorded mileage of 25256 is credible, a well-documented car that offers great value today and with continuing interest in the mark should be a sound investment,
Sparing used in recent years, however now recommissioned and ready for the show and rally season with fresh MOT, although exempt it shows the cars integrity
This is a super sound example with zero rust, however the centre bonnet panel has some blistering due to engine heat, a fairly common problem that’s easily rectified and can be arranged at additional costs, or just left alone as it doesn’t distract from the cars stance
